The Crucifixion of Jesus | Lectio: The Case for Jesus with Dr. Brant Pitre | Augustine Institute

Why would Jesus, who preached about the love of God, detachment form worldly goods, and love of one’s neighbor, be so violently opposed that his enemies arranged his execution? In this session, Dr. Pitre looks at the details surrounding Jesus’s trial and Death and what these details reveal about Jesus and his mission.
In this new LECTIO study, Dr. Brant Pitre draws evidence from both early Christian and non-Christian writings attesting to the authenticity, authorship, and dating of the Gospels. He gives an in-depth look at the gospel accounts of Jesus’s Crucifixion, Resurrection, and the proclamation of Jesus’s divinity. Topics covered include "Who wrote the Gospels?", "Are the Gospels biographies?", "When were the Gospels written?", "Did Jesus claim to be God?", and others.
